Based on Rule 3: Adding negative numbers to positive numberscount backwards,

= -$183,950 + $219,000 should turn into $183,950 - $219,000 = -$35,050

Since $219,000 in -$183,950 + $219,000 is a positive number is larger than 183,950, so the resulting difference should be a positive $35,050. Is this correct? How do get -$183,950 + $219,000 to turn into a positive 35,050 or $35,050 on the Microsoft Excel?
